please send the private data obfuscated output of a duplicity backup _and_ 
verify run with -v9 so we can see what is going on. use pastebin if it get's 
really big.

also try to delete the local archive folder of your backup (see output for the 
path to it). it contains unencrypted data needed for incremental resuming and 
my guess is that for some reason the password ending up with gpg called in 
duplicity is really not the same. so after deleting the archive an incremental 
backup will probably fail as well because it is missing the correct passphrase.

do you use a shell script to call duplicity? please post it as well.
